Mission
Our work, in clay, like any honest art form, is an expression of our experiences, our background and our environment, both past and present. Growing up in New Orleans steeped in a culture centered in food and music, pottery has become a natural means of expressing those under- pinnings. The rhythm and flavors unique to that place have worked their way into the form and function of the vessels we create. We are fascinated by the interplay between idea and execution between heart and hand. We are inspired by the visual cues delivered through music and the expression of those cues in the fluid nature of the clay. Climaxing ultimately in the marriage of form and function, the emptying of this vessel into those, is our life’s work.
Thanks for looking at our work and hope you see something you like.
